Simplicity, something that looked seemingly easy but in actual fact very difficult to achieve. Many have attempted to lead a life of simplicity but somehow ended up becoming more complicated.

The reason is because, while we wish we can lead a life of simplicity, we are actually bounded to the interdependent and complexities of life. People are now so dependent on our mobile phones. Without them many would feel like they have disconnected with the world and longer access to the usual apps that they use throughout the day.

Simplicity now becomes a tall order, can we let go of what we hold on to so dearly, can we just stop using our devices be it laptops or mobile phones? Are we able to just embrace nature, live a life disconnected from the networks that we have and spend time interacting with our loved ones face to face. For a day or two maybe, how about a week or more? Maybe we can try it out and see how fast we get sucked back into our old norms.
